The luxurious council hall of the city lord's mansion was divided into left and right, and there were no less than twenty people sitting in total.

In the center is a young man who looks to be no more than thirty years old, wearing a dark blue robe and a tiara. If it weren't for the vicissitudes of life in his eyes, and the faint wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, this person would almost be a young descendant who was not a few years older than Ling Zhi.

Of course, even if he borrowed the courage of God, Ling Zhi would not dare to treat this person as an ordinary young offspring. Mo said that it was impossible for a young descendant to sit in the first and middle position in the Ling family's council, which was full of talents, just because of his earlier drink, even the angry Ling Taibei could be suppressed, and the strength of this person can be seen.

Yes, this young descendant who looks a few years older than Ling Zhi is the first brother of the entire Bianliang City, the famous city lord of the city lord's mansion, and also Ling Zhi's father, Ling Taichong. The reason why he looks so young is just because he has succeeded in practicing martial arts and has the art of rejuvenating his face.

In addition to Ling Taichong, the most eye-catching are the two young women next to him, one on the left and one on the right. The woman on the left has dazzling purple hair, her eyes are a little foxy, but she gives people a sense of dignified and gentle, it is Ling Taichong's original eldest lady, Ziluo.

The woman on the right is full of gorgeous red hair, with a charming face, but her exposed skin is a little weird, giving people a wonderful feeling that she can't be played with from a distance. This woman is Ling Taichong's second wife, Hongling.

In addition to the three people above, sitting on Ling Taichong's left hand side are Ling Taichong's uncles and brothers of the same generation, while on the right hand side are mostly elders and deacons with foreign surnames or concubines.

After briefly observing the situation of everyone in the room, Ling Zhi's gaze couldn't help but froze. It is no wonder that the Ling family has been able to dominate Bianliang City for many years and stand tall, even if the top city lord Ling Taichong is not mentioned, all the people present have a long and strong breath, and their eyes are attentive, and none of them are martial artists who are lower than the cultivation of the Xuanwu Realm.

And this does not represent the whole of the Ling family, there are many important people among them who have not come to the scene today because of various affairs delays.

"Ye Qingying, Ling Zhi, you are so bold, don't you know what day it is?

"That's right, Ye Qingying, you are too presumptuous, Manager Han is the housekeeper of the Ling Mansion, and he has been in charge for many years, even if he is a little disrespectful, but there is no merit and hard work, why did you kill him without asking for instructions?"

Just now, Ye Qingying didn't know what means he had used to instigate his waste son to sneak attack Ling Zichu, the son of the fifth master, and even more brutally broke Ling Zichu's dantian, such a rebellious act, not killing it was not enough to correct the family law!"

"Patriarch, this woman is not virtuous, and she also committed murder, I implore the patriarch to clean up the door to rectify the family style!"

In the main hall, because Elder Ling Donglai, who belonged to the power of the eldest lady, was the first to attack, and immediately attracted a burst of echoes. Although Ye Qingying's mother and son are also members of the Ling family, after all, they have lost power for many years, if they can sell the eldest lady well in a few simple words, why not?

At this time, I saw the eldest lady Ziluo throwing a cold glance at Ye Qingying's mother and son, and then said to Ling Taichong next to him: "Taichong, you have also seen it, this Ye Qingying is really too unreasonable, if you care about the old feelings and don't want to bear the name of injustice, let me be this bad guy." ”

After that, he turned his head and said to the hall: "Ye Qingying's mother and son collided with the clan association and killed the clansmen, it is really a great rebellion, Elder Donglin, I bother you to take down the two of them, abolish the cultivation, and expel our Ling family......"

"Shut up, slut!"

Ye Qingying's face was frosty, he scolded Ziluo, and then glanced coldly at Ling Donglai and the others who were about to move, the Bingling Sword instantly suspended above his head, and the condensation of the piercing killing intent swept through the air, "Whoever dares to touch my son's hair, I want his life!"

"Hey, Tai Chong, look at you, what does this Ye Qing's image look like? I dare to shout and kill in this kind of place, I don't know how cruel and arrogant people are on weekdays, Elder Donglai, ignore her, just take it down for me!"

"Ziluo slut, didn't you hear if you told me to shut up?don't think I don't know what you're thinking, but don't worry, I'm already dead set on Ling Taichong, and I won't compete with you for favor, and you don't need to target me everywhere!"

Ye Qingying scolded angrily, and then didn't look at Zi Luo again, but looked directly at Ling Taichong, "Ling Taichong, I just want you to say a word today, do you really want our mother and son to die?"

"Bold! Taichong, listen, how horizontal is this little slut, and he dares to call your name!"

Zi Luo Liu's eyebrows were upside down, a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes, and seeing that Ling Taichong didn't seem to object, he immediately turned his head and said coldly at Ling Donglai: "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and take her down for me......

"Enough!"

"Taichong, you ......"

"Enough of what I said, didn't you hear?"

At this time, Ling Taichong, who had not spoken a word since Ye Qingying's mother and son entered the hall, finally snorted coldly, and glanced at Ling Donglai, who was about to make a move, after speaking, he glanced at Ye Qingying's body, "What did you mean by what you said just now? Why can't I understand?"

"Bad ......"

Ling Zhi's heart suddenly tightened, and he took a step forward without a trace, faintly protecting Ye Qingying's body behind him.

Killing Intent!

At that moment just now, he unmistakably felt a trace of murderous intent from Ling Taichong's eyes. Before, although he had already experienced Ling Taichong's ruthlessness, he would not have sent his mother into the cold palace for more than ten years, and even allowed his son to fend for himself.

However, tiger poison does not eat children.

Ling Zhi, who has been a man in two lives, prides himself on understanding people's hearts, and finally found that he still underestimated Ling Taichong's ruthlessness, he actually wanted to kill his wife, kill his son!

For a moment, my mind was racing, thinking about various ways to retreat...... If it really comes to the last step, even if you don't hesitate to expose your real hole cards, or even burn the jade, you should put the protection of your mother first.

Ye Qingying naturally didn't know that in just a few moments, so many thoughts flashed through his son. It's just that seeing Ling Zhi suddenly stop in front of him, he was a little puzzled.

Then he gently pushed Ling Zhi, met Ling Taichong's cold gaze and said, "Don't understand?" Hehe, okay, since you pretend not to know, I'll tell you, did you let my son join the Huang family?"

"Into the Huang family?" Ling Taichong's face was stunned, looking at his expression, it seemed that he really didn't know about it. Zi Luo's eyes on the side condensed slightly, and he hurriedly leaned over and said: "Tai Chong, there is such a thing, isn't Ling Zhi a waste who doesn't practice martial arts?" I think about it, he is already sixteen years old, according to the family rules, ......

"Rules, what rules? Ziluo, who told you that my son is a waste? And who told you that he can't practice martial arts?"

Ye Qingying's eyes were sarcastic, and then he looked at Ling Zhi and said, "Xiao Zhi, show your martial spirit, and let those people who look down on people see if my son is a waste who doesn't cultivate martial arts!"

"Mother!"

Ling Zhi wanted to refuse, because since he felt the killing intent on Ling Taichong's body, he knew that this matter was not as simple as he thought.

But now his mother's attitude is so resolute, after a little muttering, he still chooses to cooperate.

With the thoughts, a large blurred black phantom slowly rose from his back, and at the same moment, Ling Zhi calmed down and threw a punch forward.

With a "snap", the fist wind blew by, causing a bang in the air.

"Huangwu Realm Quadruple Cultivation?"

Seeing Ling Zhi's martial spirit and deliberately only swinging a punch with the power of four thousand stones, Ling Taichong let out an exclamation, and his eyes narrowed slightly again.

"Here we go again......"

At this time, Ling Zhi quickly put away the "painting" martial arts, but his heart was tensed fiercely. He suddenly discovered that just after he had shown his martial cultivation, the killing intent that had disappeared on Ling Taichong's body had reappeared, even stronger and more obvious than before.

"Because I have shown the ability to be different from waste, as a father, not only is he not happy, but he wants to kill me even more? But why? Even if it is a demon in the cultivation realm, there are very few people as cold as him, right?"

Feeling the increasingly intense killing intent, Ling Zhi's heart was secretly condensed, but at the same time, he was puzzled.

At this time, I heard Ye Qingying say: "How about it? Ling Taichong? My son has awakened the martial spirit, which means that he is not a waste and can practice martial arts, so can the matter of joining the Huang family be exempted?"

"However, the four cultivation of the Huangwu Realm, among the Ling family's peers, he is the lowest in cultivation, even if he awakens the martial spirit, but the name of waste, I am afraid that it is still deserved, right?"

"Hehe, it's really already a cultivation in the Huang Wu Realm, since this is the case, I think it's no longer appropriate to enter the Huang family again. ”

At this time, a crisp and beautiful voice sounded, but it was the second lady Hongling, who was sitting on Ling Taichong's right hand, who suddenly spoke.

As soon as these words came out, not to mention that the crowd was surprised, Na Ziluo even threw a murderous glance, "Sister Hongling, what are you talking about?

"Hehe, sister, I didn't say that. ”

Hongling showed a charming smile, which attracted everyone's attention, and then looked at Ling Taichong, "Taichong, since Ling Zhi has awakened his martial arts, although he started a little late, but after all, he is your sister-in-law, I think we can't let it go on like this anymore, so as not to be gossiped about by outsiders." ”

"Hongling, you ......" Zi Luo's eyes were cold, obviously dissatisfied with Hongling's repeated interjections.

The corners of Ling Taichong's eyes trembled, and he asked expressionlessly, "Then in your opinion, should you place that rebel like this?"

"Some time ago, didn't the Luoxia Sect, one of the four sects of the Great Xia Dynasty, send out invitations to the juniors of various families? I hope that all families can send outstanding children to participate in their selection of outer disciples this time, and our City Lord's Mansion also happened to have three places to participate in the selection.

Ling Zhi's generation, Xiao Yu Ruoxin and they all have their own very good futures, but Ling Zhi has just awakened his martial arts, and he is also your sister-in-law, why don't you let him go to Luoxia Sect to give it a try?"

"What are you kidding? Didn't you say it just now, what people want is an excellent child, just by him, how can he ......choose a mere waste in the Huangwu Realm?"

Almost as soon as Hongling's words fell, Ziluo sneered and objected, but before he finished speaking, he didn't know what he thought, and suddenly the conversation changed, and at the same time smiled at Hongling and said: "Well, sister's proposal is good, I think Taichong can let him give it a try." ”

Ling Taichong frowned, and the chill in his eyes was even greater, but it was at this time that he seemed to see the glances passed by Zi Luo and Hong Ling one after another, and his heart suddenly brightened. Immediately, his lips opened and he smiled at Ling Zhi with a seemingly warm smile: "Ling Zhi, you heard what your two aunts said just now, are you willing to accept it?"

"Huh?" Ling Zhi was shocked.

Although I have not yet seen any harm to myself in this matter, it is better to reject it in line with the principle that what the enemy approves is what I want to oppose.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to object, he heard Ling Taichong continue: "If you can be successfully selected and become a disciple of the Luoxia Sect, even if it is an outer disciple, I can not pursue your mother and son's transgression today, not only will I not pursue it, but from now on, your mother can also walk out of the cold valley and enjoy the same status as your two aunts." ”

After a slight pause, Ling Taichong's face suddenly turned cold, "However, if you are incompetent and eliminated, then not only will your mother be blamed, but she will inevitably be continued to be imprisoned or even a more serious fate, I will also personally take action to abolish your cultivation, I, Ling Taichong Yingming I, don't need a waste son, you can tell you now, whether to accept or reject?"
